Hi All,

Got a r33 gtst series 1,

Tailshaft:

Pulled off tailshaft off to uas to get cromemoly replacement for $490 If someone knows of cheaper place with same quality would be appreciated as ive rang around and no-one even will match it (maybe just ringing wrong places lol!)

lightened flywheel:

Uas cromemoly $490 4.9kg again similar pricing from others have looked at billet items but from reading forums cromemoly seams more popular for street use and the power output im after.

Gearbox:

Rang the place in greenacre (forgot name of place) supposibly do good work $1500 to clean and repair whats needed and replace my worn brass button with a cushioned brass button, $75/syncro thats stuffed doubt any are but car has done 130,000klms so maybe 2nd and 3rd gone, as i drive trucks on occasion using brass button doesnt bother me 2 much as last 2 cars have had them aswell!

My question again is clutch advise/ gearbox specialist that is cheaper and still do good work!

Last but not least Diff Centre:

Looked for ages on this have decided on 1.5way lsd, nismo seems best, but kaaz is only $1050 delivered and is tempting!

As with the diff i have a mate who does em and he cant beat this price but is installing for a slab lol.

My mate seems to think that for roughly 300rwkws standard should surfice but is on the breakable side?

As i have a 300zx the standard diff handles the 317rwkws i have in that but 300zx has stronger diff/shafts/hubs, plus its auto lol!

Im not going to waste my time changes hubs shafts so fourth plus im almost certain the skyline with standard/new diff should handle what im after!

Again any advise is great!!

As im only expecting the car not to exceed 700nm of torque/rough estimate for 300rwkws similar to my 300zx, should i waste the money on a new diff centre at all or get some new (shims 0.8mm not sure if this is the correct word) and be done with the diff!?!

As the tailshaft and gearbox and the flywheel i most definitly want them regardless so if everyone that respondes can summarise it like the following:

Gearbox Place To Remove/Repair/Re-Install/Price You Personally Paid:

Clutch Purchased From/Type/Price:

Flywheel Purchased From/Type/Price:

Tailshaft Purchased From/Type/Price:

I have read over all forums/threads no-one seems to summarise this especially when these are the most replaced parts maybe even make a sticky in a summarised form, if there is and im just not searching properly please provide me the link also please keep chit chat to minimum pm me if you want to do that, or if you really want to call me all is appreciated!!

Cheers all

Ok, a little hard to understand exactly but I'll give it a go.

Gearbox - what's broken? Why are you pulling it out if not just to replace clutch?

Clutch and flyerwheel related - some clutches come with a flywheel. I personally have a GTR clutch rebuilt by Jim Berry. It cost about a grand. I used a GTR flywheel. I give up on knowing how much power I have but I have a 4 door R34 and have run 111mph at the strip. This car is definitely heavier than R33's. Maybe 80-100kg. I did a drag day on sunday and did 37 runs over the day. The clutch is still fine. This is a single plate and quite bitey but can be slipped.

That UAS flywheel seems like a good deal to me.

Drive shaft - why? For weight?

Diff - what are you using the car for? I smashed the CV's on one side last time out at the drags with whatever power I have. (250rwkw give or take) GTR drive shafts can be used but need hubs and diff as well. For track a 1.5way centre would be the way to go. If dragging with decent tyres then you will probably break rear CV's.

Standard diff will be open wheeling after not too long at all. It wont smash, just open wheel and give you the shits cos you wont be able to get the power down.

yeah. just get the power. f**k doing all that. waste of money if nothings broken. and as far as im aware a r200 will take 1000hp no worries. and if its a tt z its got a r220. wich is bigger. so it wont break

look, the shaft they re-use your joints. so if there f**ked bad luck. out of all that a lsd is about all id do.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
